Determine which equations have the same solution set as StartFraction 2 Over 3 EndFraction minus x plus StartFraction 1 Over 6 EndFraction equals 6 x. – x + = 6x by recognizing properties, rather than solving. Check all that apply.

Answer:

A, B, F

Explanation:

2/3 - x + 1/6 = 6x

Collect like terms

2/3 + 1/6 = 6x + x

(4+1) / 6 = 7x

5/6 = 7x

x = 5/6 ÷ 7

= 5/6 × 1/7

x = 5/42

a) 4 - 6x + 1 = 36x

4 + 1 = 36x + 6x

5 = 42x

x = 5/42

Equivalent to the last step of the simplification above

b) 5/6 - x = 6x

5/6 = 6x + x

5/6 = 7x

This is equivalent to the third step of the simplification

c) 4 - x + 1 = 6x

4 + 1 = 6x + x

5 = 7x

x = 5/7

Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above

d) 5/6 + x = 6x

5/6 = 6x - x

5/6 = 5x

x = 5/6 ÷ 5

= 5/6 × 1/5

x = 5/30

Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above

e) 5 = 30x

x = 5/30

Not equivalent to any of the steps in the simplification above

f) 5 = 42x

x = 5/42

Equivalent to the last step of the simplification above
